The Australian Dollar (AUD) caught a bounce from 0.6300 against the US Dollar (USD) in Monday's trading, rallying into 0.6350. The AUD/USD opened up the trading week near 0.6314, sagging into 0.6288 before catching a bid on broad-market Greenback weakness.

AUD/USD to drift higher over coming year, reaching 0.73 by end-2024 – NAB

Late Monday at 22:00 GMT sees Australian Purchasing Manager Index (PMI) numbers as the Pacific markets head into the early Tuesday trading window, but Aussie traders will be keeping their eyes turned forward, looking ahead to Wednesday's Australian Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation print.

On Tuesday, the USD side sees US PMIs, and investors are broadly anticipating a mild downtick in the manufacturing and services components; US Manufacturing PMI is seen declining from 49.8, with the Services component likewise expected to decline from 50.1 to 49.9.

The annualized Australian Monthly Consumer Price Index (CPI) last printed at 5.2%, and markets are forecasting an uptick in CPI inflation on Wednesday, with the index expected to increase 5.4% for the year into September.

AUD/USD Technical Outlook

Despite Monday's bounce, the Aussie remains woefully bearish against the US Dollar in the near term, with the pair still trading below last week's highs and sticking close to eleven-month lows.

Technical resistance continues to press down on prices from a descending 50-day Simple Moving Average currently settling into the 0.6400 handle, with October's lows below 0.6300 serving as the only meaningful support for current price action.

AUD/USD meets fresh supply and tests 0.7100 amid weak Australian PMIs

AUD/USD has come under fresh selling pressure and is testing 0.7100 in the Asian session on Wednesday. Australia's flash PMIs showed manufacturing slipped into contraction and services expanding slowly for a second straight month, renewing the pair's downside. Furthermore, a bullish US Dollar acts as a headwind for the pair as traders keenly await the crucial Trump-Xi summit on Thursday. Meanwhile, markets shrug off US-Iran indirect talks.

USD/JPY stands firm near mid-157.00s, close to two-week high

USD/JPY hovers around mid-157.00s in the Asian session on Wednesday, near two-week highs touched last Friday as the BoJ's dovish rate hike continues to undermine the Japanese Yen. Meanwhile, the US Dollar remains firm amid the Fed's hawkish stance, adding support to the pair, though JPY intervention fears cap further gains. Markets pay little heed to the completion of the round of US-Iran indirect talks ahead of Trump-Xi meeting.

Gold approaches $4,300 as Fed hike bets boost USD to fresh high since late July

Gold extends its steady intraday slide through the first half of the European session, reversing a part of the previous day's recovery from sub-$4,300 levels. US Dollar buying remains unabated on the back of the Federal Reserve's hawkish outlook, which is seen as a key factor driving flows away from the non-yielding yellow metal.

Bitcoin outperforms US equities and Gold since mid-August

Bitcoin (BTC) extends its rally, trading above $86,000 at the time of writing on Wednesday after gaining more than 6% so far this week. Strong institutional demand is supporting BTC’s bullish price action, with spot Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) recording over $714 million in inflows on Tuesday after nearly $1 billion in positive flows the previous day.

S&P Global PMIs expected to show resilient US economic growth in September

S&P Global will release on Wednesday its preliminary September Purchasing Managers' Indices (PMIs) for the United States, based on surveys of top private sector executives, to provide an early indication of economic momentum. The data is expected to highlight US economic resilience.

BoJ Recap: Not as hawkish as expected

The Bank of Japan (BoJ) raised its short-term interest-rate target to 1.25% from 1.00% in a 7-2 vote, marking another step in the normalisation of monetary policy and widely matching what everyone has been expecting for weeks.
